Blood Holy Scripture: True Ancestor Charlotte de Castel-Chapter 559: -56- The Coup Plan of the Nais Clan_3

"Acting?"

Charlotte was slightly surprised.

"Yes, acting. Our original plan was to use the wealth of the Castel Domain to gather enough troops, carry out a coup by force, and seize power in the Falling Star Kingdom. But now... we have found a better way,"

Yulster said.

"A better way? Do tell,"

Charlotte’s interest was piqued.

According to the previous agreement she had with the Nais Clan, the Castel Domain would provide financial support for the Nais Clan to initiate the coup. At the same time, the Castel Fleet would blockade the Star Moon Strait, cutting off the Falling Star Kingdom’s shipping routes, and use diplomatic means to prevent potential reinforcements from the Holy Royal Court.

But now, it seemed the other party had found a better method.

Yulster cleared his throat and said:

"The matter goes back three months, in the late spring of this year, when His Majesty the King went to the northern part of Falling Star for a spring hunt. There, he encountered an attack by a giant dragon. Although the dragon was ultimately slain, His Majesty was also seriously injured..."

"Three months have passed, and His Majesty’s condition has not improved. Even the Clergy of the Holy Royal Court are powerless, and his days are numbered."

The Falling Star King Edward III was gravely injured and on his deathbed?

Charlotte’s heart skipped a beat.

This was the first she had heard of it; the Falling Star Kingdom had kept it very tightly sealed.

But...

"Was this done by the Nais Clan?"

She asked inconspicuously.

Yulster answered:

"Half and half, His Majesty may not be ’The Great’ like Legendary Louis, but he is a seasoned Blazing Sun. On normal days, he is well-protected by powerful Transcendents, making it very difficult to get close to him."

"His injury was indeed an accident; he was too eager when he heard that a giant dragon appeared in the north of Falling Star. He rushed there personally, hoping to break through his power and achieve legendary status with the blood bathing ceremony after slaying the dragon. However, he underestimated the dragon’s strength and suffered a heavy blow..."

"To be sure, the Nais Clan did have a hand in this. However, they intervened as he was healing, bribing the physician responsible for the King’s treatment and tampering with His Majesty’s medication,"

Saying this, Yulster sighed softly:

"It is also because His Majesty has been too tyrannical on ordinary days, offending many nobles. This act also obtained the silent consent of many Falling Star court nobles."

Charlotte had a thought and narrowed her eyes:

"So... you plan to get rid of Falling Star King Edward III? But forgive my bluntness, even if Edward III were to pass away, the succession wouldn’t fall into the hands of the Red Lilac Family under the control of the Nais Clan, right? The Falling Star Kingdom still has a Crown Prince, and the Purple Lilac Family is not extinct."

After hearing Charlotte’s words, Yulster gave a slight smile:

"Lord Castel, you do have some insight into Falling Star’s Royal Family."

Charlotte shook her head:

"The Red Lilac, the Purple Lilac, the Lilac War, are all common knowledge."

Yulster nodded and said:

"Ordinarily, that would be the case, but unfortunately... His Majesty’s successor is a bit special."

"Special?"

Charlotte felt a stirring of interest.

Yulster nodded and continued:

"Although His Majesty has announced confidentiality to the outside world, the Nais Clan’s investigation has discovered that the current Falling Star Prince, Prince Henry, is nominally His Majesty’s legitimate son, but in reality, that is not the case."

"This is also a drawback of close human relations. His Majesty and the Queen are both of Lilac bloodline, in fact, they are first cousins. Over the years, the Queen has been pregnant several times, yet the children born have all perished young."

"Prince Henry is the only child of His Majesty who has grown up, but in truth, he is not as the Royal Family claims to be the Queen’s child; in reality, Prince Henry is the son of a maidservant and His Majesty, only publicly declared to be the child of the Queen."

At this point, Yulster spoke with a meaningful tone:

"Lord Castel, the successor to the Falling Star Kingdom, Prince Henry, has impure blood and does not conform to the agreement between the two Lilac families to merge through the heir’s bloodline. According to the rules, the Red Lilac Family has the right to deny the succession rights of Prince Henry and appoint the Kingdom’s successor from the direct members of the Red Lilac Family."

"This... is the opportunity for the Nais Clan to seize control of the Falling Star Kingdom!"
